IMPROVEMENT IN GRATES'FOR STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 217,804, dated July 22, 1879; application tiled May 10, 1879.

To all 'whom it 'may' concern.'

Be it known that I, ORANGE ELIHU LAKE, of Walkersville, in the county of Frederick and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvement in Grates for Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the oon- Struction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this speciiication, and to the letters and tigures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a longitudinal sectional view; and Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views, showing a detail view of an Ordinary cut-ott and a plan of my grate.

This invention relates to grates for stoves; and consists in the improvements in the construction of the same hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings, C is a lire-pot, provided with the bar c, having the lugs c', said bar being attached to the bottom of the tire-pot in such a manner as to allow the introduction of the grate D. The grate D rests upon the bar c, and is provided with a handle, d, is perforated and slotted to permit the passage of ashes, and has a radial slot, d', opposite to the handle d. There is also a stud, c2, on the bar c, over which the slot d passes, and which serves as a pivot for shaking' the grate by a vibratory motion. By this construction the grate can be readily withdrawn from the stove and the contents of the dre-pot emptied `into any suitable vessel beneath.

A designates the fuel-reservoir, having a cut-off, B, supported by a. ring, B', and lugs b. E is a sieve, having a bail, e', e representing the wire. F designates an ash-pan.

No improvement in the fuel-reservoir or sieve is claimed in this application; but the vright is herein reserved to make separate ap- ORANGE ELIHU LAKE.
